25 And they went throughout all the land and came into a forest; and, behold, there was honey in the forest on the ground. 26 And when the people were come into the forest, behold, the honey was dropping; but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath. 27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened. 28 Then one of the men of the people spoke and said to Jonathan, Your father has surely adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day. And the people were faint with hunger. 29 Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land; see, how my eyes have been brightened because I tasted a little of this honey. 1 Samuel 14:25-29, Lamsa Bible.
